Play on download
« on: October 17, 2010, 10:59:15 pm »
I got this weird bug the other day, I was downloading a movie, and I turned on play while downloading.
And suddenly the percentage went sky high (and kept counting) while the filesize kept decreasing (even going negative), and the files were not being unpacked.
I don't really know what made this happen, but it happened. If you can't translate the dutch at the top, I am using the latest version. (Also to be checked in caption bar).
Don't know if it matters, but I'm using win7 64 bit.

What bug?

Outline the steps needed to reproduce it, and perhaps we can go from there.  Please also read the sticky about posting bug reports.

I've seen this bug on and off, but i can not pinpoint an exact trigger. All i can say it tends to occurr most often if nzbplay is turned on then off and later on again. It also seems to happens more frequently if a file in the collection tunrs out to be broken. I did however discover a simple workaround. Simply mark all files of the collection and split (Ctrl+S) them into a new collection. the percentages are reset to 0 and everything resumes to work as it should.

Guys, it would help to know exactly when this bug happens. Like after finished file or on pausing file...

It indeed occurred after on, off, on, besides of that I can't be any more specific, I'm sorry. Simply because I haven't seen any relation with anything.
